1T COMMENDS A TOWN.

There is nothing that so commends
community to the public favor as
sobriety. 1t suggests virtuous and
Industrious citizenship, and is the
fruition of individual morality. 1t
carries with it an idea of peace, and
the absence of strife and discord.
The man who is seeking location
naturally looks to the character of
the community into which he con-
templates moving, and its reputation
for scbriety exerts a strong influence
over his mind in the selection of his
future home. He feels that his lines
will be cast in pleasant places if the
city enjoys that quiet and peace that
must always attend a sober and, con-
sequently, an Industrious and eco
nomical population. Gainesville Ea-
gle.
Marietta is the ideal town. Here
we have peaceful, sober commune
ty, good churches, excellent schools,
refined society, and everything to
eonduce to happy citizenship. Those
seeking delightful and healthy
climate can find none superior to
Marietta. The town is on a steady,
substantial growth, new citizens com
ing in constantly, and no one hardly
ever leaves the place but he returns
and says it is the best place he can
find.

BooMS.

Whenever and wherever you find a
boom in real estate, without CO.
equaland co eXstensive building boom
accompanying it, don't take too much
stock IN the. boom. High prices up
on short and narrow strips of land,
unoccupied by buildings, and where
unoccupied land is plentiful in every
direction around, can not be main
tanned. When any commodity is
plentiful and unused, it may be tenn
porarily stimulated in value, but the
value is artificial and can not be
maintained. Any property, upon
which taxes must be paid and from
which no certain or continuous reye-
nue. can be derived, dependent sole
y upon booms for possible and peri
odical speculative profits, is unrelia-
be property, and its value is neces-
sariIy imaginary and uncertain. -
Catl5ert LiJeral.
The selling Of land at enormous
prices Is no true criterion of prosper
ity. Booms are huctuating and no ac-
curate idea can be had of the valuation
Of property where spectators are
initiating prices. The true valuation
Of land is in proportion to the amount
Of interest that can be realized upon
the investment, and anything paid
above such consideration is fictitious.
